*Full-day campers must bring a lunch, drink and snack. We will refrigerate all lunches.
**There are no exceptions for the age requirements*
There are no refunds once payment is issued to the Attleboro Arts Museum (this includes missed or sick days). There is a minimum enrollment of 7 students per age group for sessions to run. In an effort to run all of our summer camps, age groups may merge if there is low enrollment. If a camp or class has met the minimum enrollment to run and still has space available, you can register right up until the class starts. However, the class will be canceled if less than 7 students have registered by three days prior to the start date.
Summer camps and classes for children are not part of or endorsed by the Attleboro Arts Museum’s local school districts.
